Tricks For Taking Real Estate Photography FL Pros Have Used For Years

By Kenneth Thompson


You are going to have to post some great pictures of the house you have for sale if you want to get top dollar for it. The better those photographs are, the better the chances you'll be contacted by prospective buyers wanting to tour the home. To get those pictures, if you decide to do the job yourself, you'll need good equipment, a home that is spotless inside and out, pictures that interest potential purchasers, and strategies for creating real estate photography FL pros use all the time.

If you want your photos to stand out from your competition, you should use HDR photography and a wide angle lens. You would assume that wide angle lens give a wider shot, but you may not know they also give pictures more details and depth. HDR photographs are those taken of subjects multiple times using several different exposures. The photos are then combined into one with colors and detail you won't get without using this technique.

Houses look their best in natural light. You don't need professional flash equipment to take these photos, but you will need a tripod. If you try to take the picture without it, the image is going to be dark and blurred. With a tripod, you can slow the shutter speed, which will give you the natural light you want and a crisp image as well.

Your interior photos will be much more effective with furnishings. Pictures without furniture can't give potential purchasers any sense of scale or whether the rooms are bedrooms, living areas, or dining areas. Walls, ceilings, and floors are all they see.

Furnishings help you create a feel for the size of a room and what it's used for as well as adding light and shadow to the image. You don't want to make the mistake of over furnishing though. Once you have the basics in the photo, stop decorating.

Virtual tours have become the norm. Many of these are 3-D. Buyers like this feature because it gives them a chance to view the house in a way that was only possible by actually going to the house and physically walking through it. You should not miss the opportunity to post your virtual tour on all the social media sites where you have a presence. Not only is it free advertising, it exposes your home to a wide range of potential buyers.

Not everyone realizes how important the difference between vertical and horizontal pictures are. The human eye does notice the difference though. Humans are more comfortable viewing things at a four to three, or sixteen to nine, ratio. That means that horizontal pictures are easier for the human eye to process. Remember this the next time you use your cell phone to take a photo.

The focus of your pictures should be on the selling points. If your house is full of windows, coffered ceilings, and has an open floor plan for instance, that's what you want to emphasize in the photos. Features like a state of the art kitchen and inground pool will get your phone ringing.
